Education

We offer guidance on optimal borrowing strategies, debt restructuring, and refinancing, utilising strategic modelling to enhance debt planning and decision-making. Additionally, we facilitate the sourcing of new funding, ranging from short- to medium-term facilities through to longer-term private market solutions, while providing advice on risk management tools, including derivatives.

Our investment advice covers  traded instruments, funds and markets, and also illiquid private placements and structured products. Whether liquidity, treasury balances or endownment funds, we advise on suitability of product and counterparty for each individual client based on strategy, income and cash requirements, explaining new strategies and products in a way suitable for different levels of the organisation, from Board to Commitee to treasury manager.


Whatever country or specific rate a client is interested in, we can prepare in-house forecasts for economic variables and rates to support investment, funding and debt management strategies.

We provide higher education institutions with independent consultancy and due diligence support, helping universities assess financial resilience, funding strategies, partnerships, governance and risk. Our advice combines sector insight with practical analysis, enabling confident decisions that support long-term sustainability and strategic objectives.

Cashflow forecasting, modelling, foreign currency hedging strategies and hedging arrangement are just some of the other areas that Arlingclose can assist universities in managing.

Compliant available guidance from CIPFA and the Charities Commission and incorporating best practice from all sectors, Arlingclose creates new policies or advises on changes to existing treasury policies to better reflect the risks inherent to the treasury management function and the individual objectives of the institution. This includes creating or maintaining an ESG policy where necessary. This normally involves an initial document and procedures review to ensure we understand current treasury operations, followed by policy recommendations and presenting/reporting on any changes to the relevant Committee.
